Don’t worry about that sniper about to terrorize San Francisco

A sniper will target uniformed authorities Thursday near the Palace of Fine Arts – and he’ll be back at it Friday near Alamo Square and next week in U.N. Plaza. No, we’re not a modern-day Nostradamus; it’s merely filming for another episode of “Trauma.”

“During the next episode, Trauma will be filming scenes involving a sniper targeting uniformed authorities,” reads a press release from the Film Commission. “This filming will include numerous emergency response vehicles and simulated gunfire.”

The filming will take place from 7:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. Thursday at the Palace of Fine Arts and will include the closure of Baker Street between Beach and Bay, the closure of North Point between Baker and Broderick and the closure of Bay between Lyon and Baker.

Friday, the faux sniper takes his terror spree to the intersection of Steiner and Grove near Alamo Square from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. And Monday and Tuesday, he’ll shoot ’em up in U.N. Plaza from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m.

There will be signs posted at each location notifying passersby that it’s merely a TV shoot and not to fret. Nearby residents and businesses will be receiving leaflets describing the filming in advance.
